Dr. Walus received his Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Windsor in 2001 and completed his PhD in Electrical Engineering at the University of Calgary in 2005. His research focuses on the applications of nanotechnology in electronic devices. As an example, he is investigating the application of molecular devices as an emerging computational nanotechnology, as well as the application of nanostructured materials in bio- and gas sensing. To exploit the novel properties of nanostructured and organic materials at the micro-scale, Dr. Walus and his team are also applying novel inkjet micropatterning techniques to fabricate micro-devices using functional “inks” consisting of composites of organic polymers infused with nanostructures to augment and enhance performance while also reducing cost. His specific research interests include electronic devices based on molecular quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) and electronic devices fabricated using inkjet micropatterning including printed sensors, transistors, and LED’s.
